Have you inspected the door seals to see if they are torn anywhere? How about having someone come for a ride and see if they can hear where it is coming from? Does the windshield on the inside of the truck freeze when it gets cold?

After inspecting the door seals, if you don't find anything wrong, and if the truck has the big trailer tow mirrors on it as apposed to standard side mirrors, go for a drive with both mirrors folded in. Sometimes you would be amazed at the amount of noise that the big mirrors create which isn't really a door seal (or lack thereof) but an aerodynamics issue. The newer trucks have helped alleviate some of that by additional seals and better aerodynamics from more rounded edges.

If the previous owner had to bend the top of the door open to unlock it (locked the keys in it...) ... you may have a bowed out door...

I've seen these doors flex just as I said. just slip a screw driver in the top back corner of the drivers door, pry open and slip a wallet in the gap, then pull it further out and slip the wallet down a bit at a time ... and eventually you can get your whole hand in near the window top ... to unlock

Sometimes the window explodes and most times the door ends up with the top bowed out ... if so ... put a 2' x 4' in the bottom back edge and push the top toward close ... bend it the other way (I didn't really say that)
